Course Description

India is an aspiring major power with the world’s largest population, fifth largest economy, and third largest military. The country is pivotal to the shifting geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region and has emerged as a key (albeit reluctant) U.S. partner in its competition with China.

This course explores India’s relationship with the world. It is divided into two main parts. The first part will focus on the origins, logic, and drivers of India’s foreign policy, including domestic politics, leadership, and institutions. The second part will examine India's salient challenges in its quest to become a "leading" power in global affairs, including nuclearization, the Sino-Indian rivalry, and the Indo-U.S. partnership.
